Where has all the money gone?
Questions that UK taxpayers should be asking
NIALL MCCRAE
Rachel Reeves has a black hole to fill. And we’ll all be paying for the largesse of policies that neither brought any benefit to taxpayers, nor did we vote for them. But most people (‘normies’) are apathetic, while woke and green zealots regard this vast public spending as somehow progressive.
Ukraine
£21.8 billion since war began in 2022
Normies -‘Well, we have to help them’
Zealots – ‘Putin is the new Hitler, we must fight fascism, let’s go to war!’
Benefit to taxpayers – none (the war was deliberately provoked by NATO, but Putin is playing his part in the New World Order; most of the money doesn’t reach the front – it’s a massive money-laundering scheme)
Covid-19
The Covid-19 debacle was extremely costly, with a total of about £400 billion government spending
Normies – ‘It was a deadly virus, so the government needed to act radically, and thank goodness for the vaccine’
Zealots – ‘Delaying lockdown caused tens of thousands of deaths; we need scientists to make the decisions, not a Tory buffoon’
Benefit to taxpayers – none (Covid-19 was the biggest crime against humanity ever perpetrated by governments, and unless people awaken to this evil, it will be done to them again)
Net Zero
Around £20 billion is spent per annum on the climate scam
Normies – ‘The climate crisis may be exaggerated, but we should stop using fossil fuels’
Zealots – ‘The government is doing too little too late to save the planet’
Benefit to taxpayers –none (like Covid-19 , Net Zero is a scam, extorting from ordinary people to enrich the elite)
Migrant hotels
This is only a small part of the cost of mass immigration, but a highly visible and controversial policy, costing about £10 billion per annum
Normies – ‘Well, they need to be housed somewhere’
Zealots – ‘Refugees welcome here; open the borders’
Benefit to taxpayers –none (it’s time that politicians are asked why we need a million immigrants every year, when unemployment is at five million and likely to rise dramatically as jobs are replaced by AI)
European Union
The UK sent £3.1 billion to the EU last year, but this amount is likely to increase sharply due to demands for commercial access and military development
Normies – ‘What happened to Brexit?’
Zealots – ‘The EU is right to punish the stupid people for voting to leave’
Benefit to taxpayers –none (we didn’t pay a European federal bureaucracy for travel and trade in the past, so why now?)
Interest on debt
Enormous debt to the global banking system, with rising interest charges – in 2024-2025 the government borrowed almost £150 billion, but interest payments amounted to about £100 billion (the national debt is now £2.9 trillion)
Normies – ‘Services must be provided, whatever the borrowing needed’
Zealots – ‘The state should spend more and more and more; let the 1% pay for it’
Benefit to taxpayers – none (think how many rainbow crossings could have been painted on our streets with all that money)
But perhaps the intent is to cause fiscal collapse – as in the Cloward-Pliven plan described here.
